Colleges host 13 Trillboards screens with student audiences in academic-corridor placements.
College DOOH reaches the student audience in 15–45 minute between-class dwell windows. CPMs are above network mean ($4.64 USD) because the audience profile is uniquely valuable to financial services, technology, and food-delivery advertisers targeting the 18–24 demographic.
Colleges and universities partner with Trillboards to host screens in student-union corridors, dining halls, and academic-building lobbies. The compliance layer filters out age-inappropriate creatives and ensures that only education-policy-compatible demand serves.
College and university DOOH is one of the most demographically targeted categories on the Trillboards network. The 13 active screens span 2 countries and a focused US presence (Fairfax, VA is the primary US college market). Audience composition skews toward students in mixed-group and small-group dwell patterns; buyer demand concentrates in financial services (student banking, credit cards, student loans), technology (laptops, software, productivity tools), food delivery, and education-services (online learning, certification, tutoring). Floor CPM of $4.64 USD reflects the audience-profile premium that buyers in 18–24-targeted categories pay for venue-context relevance.
Medium (2–10 minutes per impression)
Higher-education context — alcohol and gambling restricted; technology, financial-services (student loans, banking), education-services, and food-delivery creatives perform well.
Five US cities with the highest concentration of colleges & universities on the Trillboards programmatic DOOH network (aggregate count — no per-screen identifiers exposed).
Each screen at colleges & universities runs the Trillboards kiosk app, which holds an open OpenRTB 2.6 connection to the Trillboards SSP. Roughly every 45 seconds, the device fires an ad request carrying the IAB DOOH inventory descriptor (venue category, geographic bucket, screen format) plus any locally observed audience signals from the on-device CV pipeline — group composition, audience archetype, and attention level — all aggregated and stripped of per-person identifiers before they leave the screen.
Demand-side platforms bid in under 100 ms; the winning creative ships back, plays inside the device's native VAST player, and confirms playback via a signed proof-of-play receipt. Trillboards reconciles those receipts daily against partner-reported numbers (the canonical record of truth for billable impressions) and credits the venue's earner balance monthly. The colleges & universities category on the Trillboards network averages $4.64 USD floor CPM and 300 daily impressions per screen, numbers that translate directly into the earnings model below.
The Trillboards platform supports both first-party and third-party VAST creatives, OMID-compliant viewability measurement where the creative declares OMID support, and full proof-of-play receipts signed at the device level — meeting the Out of Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA) measurement standards and the IAB DOOH 1.0 specification. Buyers using the Trillboards OpenRTB endpoint can target colleges & universities specifically via the IAB Audience Taxonomy plus the Trillboards segtax=600 namespace without ever receiving per-screen identifiers in the bid request.

The 13 active screens, 2 countries, 1 US city, $4.64 average floor CPM, and 300 daily impressions per screen shown here are aggregated from the Trillboards PostgreSQL system of record (table earner_screens filtered by status = 'approved'), joined to the venue taxonomy. Counts reflect the network state at the snapshot date and are rebuilt monthly. Floor CPM numbers are the screen-level minimums; cleared CPMs typically run 20–40% higher depending on demand. Per Trillboards aggregate-only data disclosure policy, no per-screen identifiers, partner identifiers, or device identifiers are published on this page — only the counts and category-level statistics needed for buyer and earner decisions.
